President Donald Trump announced a $12 billion economic assistance package for American farmers on Dec. 8 during a White House roundtable event that included Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, with the funding intended to support farmers affected by tariffs and market disruptions.

President Donald Trump announced a $12 billion economic assistance package for American farmers on Dec. 8 during a White House roundtable event that included Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, with the funding intended to support farmers affected by tariffs and market disruptions.

Up to $11 billion of the aid package will be allocated through the Department of Agriculture's Farmer Bridge Assistance program to producers of major row crops including soybeans, corn, wheat, rice and cotton, while the remaining $1 billion will be directed to specialty crops.

Trump stated the funding would come from tariff revenue collected by the United States, though the administration drew the money from a USDA fund using taxpayer dollars through the Commodity Credit Corporation, which Trump also used to provide farmer aid during his first term.

The aid package comes as soybean farmers have been particularly affected by China's halt of U.S. soybean purchases earlier this year, with China having been the biggest buyer of U.S. soybeans in 2024, accounting for $12.64 billion in sales according to USDA data.

Following Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi in late October, China agreed to purchase 12 million metric tons of soybeans by year end and 25 million metric tons annually through 2028, though as of early December China had purchased only about 2.2 million metric tons since late October.

During his first term, Trump's administration approved two packages in 2018 and 2019 totaling $28 billion for farmers impacted by his economic policies, and farmers will begin receiving funds from the new program by Feb. 28 with applications opening in the coming weeks.
